Creating design with purpose that responds to the unique nature of every space is important to me and this exciting project gives me the opportunity to do something purposeful and different. At the heart of our approach will be a focus on demonstrating that beautiful design can also be affordable. “Me and my team can’t wait to show off how these homes could offer inspiring living spaces on a smaller budget.
